Finally a portable blast cap crimping tool with integrated piano lock!

No sweat Vlad, ill keep on looking myself.

Hey Tony, i know you have a taurus 38 super or two in your collection, i have one too but a conversion barrel to another caliber i just got wont seem to fit. Its supposed to drop in but it prevents my slide from going all the way forward into battery so essentially its not compatible with this gun. I know it is a drop in for other guns but hte taurus just doesn't seem that way. Think we could meet up some time and you could bring your pistols and see if its the same situation? I'd be curious to know if its just this example or any taurus 38 super.

Excellent! I'll even give you $400 for the M27 so you have the cash to front it.

Its the square "nut" that goes in the hole in the receiver that the grip screw threads into so it sounds like we're talking about the same thing. I really appreciate the generosity, i'll drop you a PM if nothing turns up around here!

I got all my goodies in for my 7.32 conversion, did all the drilling and grinding, put in the Tromix G2 and when i went to install the furniture i realized i don't have any grip nut for the frame hole. I thought it came with my AR grip adapter but i was wrong. It sucks because its a $5 part and it is probably gonna cost as much if not more to get just one shipped. Anyone have a spare they can part with?

Jeez, i looked at the title and thought there was some kind of incident at CJ. For a second i also thought how lucky i was to have left a bit early this afternoon! lol Nice to meet you Mike, hope to see you all out there again next month!

Noice! BTW, as an aside, these belts are really stiff and make pants pocket access a royal PITA if you need to get at something (like a phone for instance). As a fellow droid owner, If you dont already have some kind of phone holder thing, an AR mag holster like the HSGI Taco fits a droid perfectly! lol

What did you think of the grip? Frankly its rather brick-like to me with little attention to ergonomics. Did you try any of the others?

And the award for most awesomest safe organization idea of the year goes to you!

I do the same with my mags and those pistol pouches. Those midway pistol rugs are great since i can keep the gun, all the mags i would need for a match, plus model specific accessories in the additional pouches all in the same 'grab-n-go' pouch. For other guns that i don't use as frequently, the CCW mag pouches are great to keep everything together. Bringing out the 1911? Grab the 1911 mag pouch. Wanna shoot the Tokarev? Grab the Tok pouch. I even have them for the rimfire mags and AR/AK mags. Although since they are all black in my case, i wish i had an external indicator of what they are so i dont have to peel open a bunch of pouches until i find what i want! I was thinking if i could find some iron on patches with manufacturer logos like 1911, CZ, Glock, i'd be able to mark them pretty easily. Problem is whan looking for obscure ones that no one would seem to care about (except me)!

Noise filtering is always nice at the range and having that in an earplug configuration is handy for shooting long guns and long term confirt, but 15 db attenuation doesn't seem like much.

No, these are the range bags. You're thinking of the glorified pistol rug with mag pockets.

You are correct. 1 015 that lists all the guns collectively, thats *your* application. Then 1 016 from each respective seller listing the guns they are each holding for you, those are the "seller certifications".

Ray, if i have to look at another gun pic on front of that ugly a** headboard, i'm gonna hurl. Can't you get a better backdrop of some kind?

I bought my SP01 Custom from Angus like 4 years ago. To this day its one of my most favorite guns to shoot; you can't go wrong with thier work!

Recently i compared the FNP 45, Glock 21, Smith M&P45 and the HK45 at a local gun store and simply by feel, grip and trigger alone, the FN and HK were tops! The Glock felt the worst in terms of grip and trigger, the M&P has a great feel, but trigger is the same as the glock stock since they both have that mushy striker fired trigger feel. The SA mode of the HK and FN were very nice and the HK just had a better ergonomic grip feel than the FN. This is all my own bias but you can clearly see that some of these guns that feel better in the hand have clearly paid better attention to the overall ergonomics of the overall experience. It does come at a price though but its worth it to check it out just for the sake of completeness.

Another option is to just get a regular 9L and get either apex parts (way better than the pro sear) or get a true gunsmith trigger job (way, way, way better than the pro sear!). I opted for the 9L, partly due to the difficulty of getting the Pro 5" with jersey legal mags and put in Sevigny sights and had a trigger job done on mine. Its a slight bit more money than the apex parts, but the action is far superior. You even save money getting the non-Pro model but its getting harder to find them every day. The problem is that if you get the pro and you don't like the sights/trigger, you wasted money if you just go out and replace them again.

Weather permitting, i'll be there. Got my M&P9 back from the gunsmith for a trigger job just in time too!

I've tried WSF, titegroup, clays and N320 for 9mm and have settled on N320 despite its added difficulty to obtain. As others have said, its shoots softer, cleaner and cooler than the popular Titegroup so when buying in bulk, its easier to justify the minor price differential. I have also tried clays in 9mm and its actually also very soft shooting, just a little dirtier in that load than N320. I'd probably use it before titegroup if N320 weren't available and since its a very fluffy powder, its more resistant to get in to a overcharge situation. I also hear good things about Solo 1000 but have no experience with it. If i were still in experimentation mode, i'd be inclined to try it but i already have a decent stock of powders i've settled on. I've also used N320 in 45acp and may continue to use it there since i can standardize on one powder for both it and 9mm but i should try some clays before i settle on it since it seem to be another powder favored for the caliber but much cheaper and easier to get.

I had forgot to mention that i did take it to the range last weekend to try it out and it shoots great. The heaviness of the trigger is apparent but i put a box of ammo through it and the accuracy was as good as you could want an the sights aren't too bad for being simple, plain, low-profile sights. The rifling looks like new and the gun is tight in the rails and bushing lockup so consistency is great. Wish i had a stack of these pistols. lol

I picked this up from Wideners a while back when they had a bunch of surplus Pre-B's for sale for about 3 bills. Since the Pre-B's have some compatibility issues with the modern mags (magwell is shaped slightly different and only the older, rarer, more expensive mags will fully seat), thier popularity was primarily only with the collectors. At some point they got in a batch of these transitional models (or jsut weeded through what they had) but didn't quite know what they were and just labeled them as 75-2's but the squared off trigger guard was a dead give-away. These pistols essentially combine the best of the old and new with the frame accepting modern magazines and yet still retaining the Pre-B lack of firing pin block. Other differences include the newer style, rounded hammer for less bite, but old style rounded safety, and pinned front sight (in lieu of staked). These guns were made in 93-94 when CZ was transitioning from the original Type-A frame to the new Type-B that is the basis for all 75 models hence the blend of features until the Type-B was fully standardized. This particular gun is great condition overall and although there is some spots on the finish that show wear, the internals are in excellent condition. There is little evidence of any barrel or slide wear. The trigger pull is a bit stout in the ~6lb range and shows some camming in SA mode so there's no doubt it can be improved with some use and possibly polishing or even a CZ Custom competition hammer. I think i may eventually get a Kadet slide for this frame and use it for fun and steel matches in which case i would need some trigger work for sure. Kinda wish it said "Czechoslovakia" like the older ones though. Look, Ma, no firing pin block!

Can you mic the primer pocket ID on a few samples of these 'tweeners and post the figure? It would be interesting to see what the value is compared to the known small/large primer dimensions.

Mini-Mags in my pistol for steel competitions. Federal bulk and CCI blazer bulk for my rifle for plinking and steel competitions.

ITs been a while for me and i have some new-ish things to try so i'll be heading out there tonight.
